For 33A65, 30C15 (1.1) a>0 and 0_>0, consider the monic polynomial p(z) of degree 2n whose zeros consist of the n equally spaced points (1.2) exp(i(0 + aj)), 0 _< j _< n 1, along with their n complex conjugates, i.e., (1.3) p(z) n-1 H (z (z j=o We assume throughout that the variable 0 in (1.3) is restricted to the interval (1.4) r/2- (n- 1)a/2 _< 0 <_ r- (n- 1)c/2. Equivalently, (1.5) :r/2 _< 0 + (n- 1)c/2 _< r, so that the geometric mean of the n zeros in (1.2) lies in the second quadrant. Condition (1.5) automatically holds, for example, if each of the n zeros in (1.2) has Argument E (0, ) and the coefficient of z in p(z) is positive; this is easily seen from (2.12) and (2.17). When (1.5) holds, the geometric mean of the n zeros in (1.2) is closer to -1 than to +1, and it moves (together with at least half of the zeros of p(z)) towards -1 along the unit circle as increases. *Received by the editors August 1, 1989; accepted for publication (in revised form) August 21, Department of Mathematics, C-012, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California : Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Minnesota, Duluth, Minnesota The work of this author was supported in part by National Science Foundation grant DMS
2 _ 1174 RONALD EVANS AND JOHN GREENE The coefficients of p(z) are not necessarily increasing functions of 0, even if each of the n zeros in (1.2) has Argument E (0, r) (in which case each of the n quadratic factors in (1.3) has increasing coefficients). For example, if n 3, a 5r/12, then the coefficient of z 3 in p(z) is negative and decreasing at r/8, while r/8 is in the interval (1.4). However, the following theorem holds for all n. The proof, given in 3, depends - on properties of q-ultraspherical polynomials discussed in 2. THEOREM 1. Iffor some nonnegative o in the interval (1.4), all coe[ficients of p(z) are nonnegative, then they are each increasing functions of for o 0 < (n- 1)a/2. Except for the coefficients 1 of the leading and constant terms, the coejficients are in fact strictly increasing, unless a 2r/n. For a- 2r/n, we have p(z) Z 2n 2 cos(on)z n + 1, which has nonnegative coefficients for /(2n) <_ <_ r/n, but if n > 1, the coefficient of z is zero, which is not strictly increasing. This formula for p(z) is proved in 3 (see Consider for the moment the general polynomial n--1 (1.6) P(z) H (Z ei(o+ad)) (Z e-i(o+ad)) _ j=0 (1.7) 0 >_ 0, 0- ao al an-1. The polynomial P(z) reduces top(z) when aj ja, 0 < n-1. In view of Theorem 1, we might ask if nonnegativity of the coefficients of P(z) for some 0 00 always implies that the coefficients are increasing for 0 >_ 00, when 0 is restricted to the interval (1.8) r/2 (al an-) /n 0 (al an-) In. The answer is no. For example, if n 3, al /2, a2 7r/12, then the coefficients of P(z) are all positive for /4 < < 23r/36, yet the coefficients of z2, -z3, z 4 are each decreasing at 0-2. However, we believe the following. CONJECTURE. If the coefficients of P(z) are all nonnegative for some 0 Oo >_ O, then they are each increasing functions of 0 on the interval Oo 0 < an-1. For convenient application of Theorem 1, we would like to have a simple necessary condition for the nonnegativity of the coefficients of p(z). This is given in Theorem 2. THEOREM 2. Suppose that (1.9) 0 < a < /n. Then each coefficient of p(z) is positive (and hence increasing in O, by Theorem 1). This theorem was motivated by the fact that for sufficiently small a, all zeros of p(z) are closer to -1 than to +1 (because of (1.5)), and so all coefficients of p(z) are positive. The question is how small a must be. For n > 1, the upper bound in (1.9) is best possible, i.e., if a > r/n, the coefficients of p(z) cannot all be positive on the interval (1.4). If a >_ 2r/n, there is no 0 j
3 POLYNOMIALS WITH NONNEGATIVE COEFFICIENTS 1175 in the interval (1.4) for which all coefficients of p(z) are positive. the coefficients of p(z) are all positive only on a subinterval (1.10) r, < 0 < 7r-(n- 1)a/2 of the interval (1.4). If r/n <_ a < 2r/n, These remarks will be proved in 4. Also in 4 we prove Theorem 2 and the following related result. THEOREM 3. Let 0 < < r/n. Then all coe]ficients of (1.11) p(u,v) "= are positive, i.e., (n--l)/2 II (1 + ueij + ve-ij j=(1-n)/2 (1.12) p(u, v) E arsurvs ars > O. O<_r,s<_n (The variable j in (1.11) ranges over halves of odd integers if n is even.) As an application of Theorem 2, we give in 5 a short proof of Theorem 4 below in the special case (1.13) f(z) (z 1)/(z k 1), m, k are positive integers. THEOREM 4. Let f(z) denote a monic polynomial of degree N with nonnegative coefficients and with zeros zl, z2,..., ZN. For fixed t >_ O, write (1.14) ft(z) H (z- zj). 1 Then if f(z) ft(z), all coefficients -- of ft(z) are positive. Theorem 4 had been open for several years until a proof was found recently by Barnard et al. [2]. In the special cases f (z) z N + 1 or f (z) 1 + z zn, we can say a bit more about the polynomials ft(z) in (1.14), namely, the following theorem [4]. THEOREM 5. If f(z) z N or f(z) 1 + z zn, and if ft(z) f(z), then ft(z) is a strictly unimodal polynomial. (In particular, all coefficients of ft(z) are >_ 1.) If f(z) is given by (1.13), it is not generally true that ft(z) is unimodal when f (z) # f(z). 2. The coefficients of p(z) in terms of q-ultraspherical polynomials. We will use the following additional notation throughout: (2.1) q ei, 0 + (n 1)a/2 7r/2,
4 1176 RONALD EVANS AND JOHN GREENE and (2.3) x sin. Observe that (1.5) is equivalent to (2.4) 0 </ < r/2, which implies that (2.5) 0 < x < 1, dx do > O. In order to relate p(z) to q-ultraspherical polynomials (see (2.12)-(2.13)), we begin by replacing j by j + (n- 1)/2 in (1.3) to obtain (2.) (z) (-1)/2 II (z e(z+-+-/2)) (z j=(1--n)/2 Since the range of values of j in (2.6) is symmetric about zero, we have (n-)/2 j=(1--n)/2 (n--l)/2 j=(1--n)/2 (z 2zq co(z + /) + q:) (n--l)/2 II (Z 2 -f- 2zqJ sin + q2j). j=(1--n)/2 Replace j by -j and multiply each factor by q2j to obtain (2.s) p(z) (n-)/2 j=(1--n)/2 (z2q 2j + 2zxqJ + 1). Note that the coefficients of p(z) are symmetric about the middle, as (2.9) z2np(1/z) p(z), and. the leading and constant coefficients of p(z) are 1 for all 0, a. The generating function for the q-ultraspherical polynomials Ck(x; tlq is [1, eq. (3.4), 179] (2.10) Ck(x; tlq)w k H (1 2twxqk + t2w2q2k) k=0 k=0 (1 2wxq k + w 2 q2k 0 < q < 1.

Replace w by -zq(n+l)/2 in (2.11) and use (2.8) to see that 2n (2.12) p(z) E k (x; q-nlq z k, k=0 Ek :-- Ek(x)- Ek (x; q-nlq --(--1)kqk(n+l)/2C k (X; q-nlq The Ck(x; tlq satisfy the recurrence relation [1, eq.

In view of (2.1) and (2.13)-(2.15), the Ek satisfy the recurrence (2.16) with Ek 2x sin((n + 1 k)a/2) Ek-1 sin(ka/2) + sin((2n + 2 k)a/2)ek-2 sin(kc/2) sin(ha/2) (2.17) Eo 1, E 2x sin(a]2) (k > 2) 3. Proof of Theorem 1. Theorem 1 is trivial for n 1, so let n > 1. For brevity, write sin ((n + 1 k)a/2) sin ((2n + 2- k)a/2) (3.1) Ak= Bk= k>_l, so by (2.16), sin(ka/2) sin(ka/2) (3.2) Ek 2xAkEk_ + BkEk-2, k > 2. By hypothesis, for some x0 with 0 < x0 < 1, (3.3) Ek(xo)>O for0<k<2n. By (2.9), it suffices to show that the polynomials Ek(x) are strictly increasing on x0<x<lforl<k<n.
6 1178 RONALD EVANS AND JOHN GREENE Case 1. ( < 2r/n. In this case, (3.4) Ak>O forl_<k_<n. In particular, the leading coefficient of Ek(x) is positive for each k, 1 _< k < n. Suppose there is an integer m with 2 _< m _< n such that (3.5) Bm< O, and choose the maximal such m. By (3.1), (3.6) Bk<O for2_<k<m. By (3.2) and Favard s theorem [3, Thm. 4.4, p. 21], El, E2,...,Em are orthogonal polynomials with respect to a positive-definite operator. Thus we can apply the theorem on separation of zeros [3, Thm. 5.3, p. 28] to conclude that the zeros of El,..., Em are all real and simple, and that a zero of Ek-1 lies strictly between every two consecutive zeros of Ek, 2 <_ k < m. We proceed to prove by induction on k that if 1 < k < m, then the largest zero of Ek is _< x0. This holds for k 1 since E1 2Alx and 0 _< x0. Let k > 1. By induction hypothesis, the largest zero of Ek-1 is <_ x0, so by separation of zeros, x0 exceeds the second largest zero of Ek. For x between the largest and second largest zeros of E, E(x) is negative. Thus, by (3.3), the largest zero of Ek is < x0, and the induction is complete. It follows for 1 < k < m that (a.7) k 1-[ j--1 with Ck > 0 and cjk < x0 (1 < j < k). Thus Ek(x) is strictly increasing on x0 < x < 1 for 1 <k<m. If there is no integer m with 2 < m _< n for which (3.5) holds, set m 1. It remains to prove that Ek(x) is strictly increasing on x0 < x < 1 for n >_ k > m. This follows from (3.2), since Ak > 0 and Bk > O. Case 2. a 2r/n. In this case, by (2.16) and (2.17), El(x) E2(x) En-l(X)- 0. Thus by (2.9) and (2.12), It is easily seen from (1.3) that p(z) z 2n + Enz + 1. (3.9) p(1) (e in 1)(e -in 1) 2 2 cos(on). By (3.8) and (3.9), E, -2 cos(0n), so (3.10) p(z) Z 2n 2 Cos(On)z n -- For r/(2n) < 0 _< r/n, the coefficients of p(z) are nonnegative and they are increasing functions of 0. 1.
7 POLYNOMIALS WITH NONNEGATIVE COEFFICIENTS 1179 Case 3. a > 2r/n. In this case, x0 > 0 by (2.2) and (2.3). Moreover, by (1.1) and (1.5), we may suppose that By (2.17) and (3.11), (3.12) E1 (x0) 2x0 sin(na/2)/sin(a/2) < 0. This contradicts (3.3), so Case 3 is vacuous. 4. Proofs of Theorems 2 and 3. Proof of Theorem 2. Let 0 < a < r/n. By (2.9) and (2.12), it suffices to prove (4.1) Ek > 0, 0 _< k _< n. This follows for k 0, 1 by (2.17). For 2 <_ k _< n, all sines in (3.1) are positive, so (4.2) Ak>0, Bk>0 for2<_k<_n. Thus (4.1) follows by (3.2) and induction on k. Proof of Theorem 3. Let 0 < a < r/n. The proof of (4.1) actually yields the stronger result (4.3) Ek M E bikxi 0 <_ k <_ 2n, i--0 with (4.4) bik > O, ifik(mod2), bik 0, otherwise, (4.5) M min(k, 2n- k).

We close this section by proving the remarks made in 1 between the statements of Theorems 2 and 3. Let n > 1. Then the upper bound 7/n in (1.9) is best possible. For, if a is slightly larger than 7/n, then E2 < 0 for sufficiently small x, since sin(nc/2) sin((n (4.10) E2 4x 2 sin((/2) sin(c) sin(nc) sin(a) If ( _> 2r/n, there is no 0 in the interval (1.4) for which all coefficients of p(z) are positive, by (3.11) and (3.12). Finally, suppose that (4.11) 0 < c < 2/n. Then all coefficients of p(z) are positive on a small interval (1.10), i.e., for x sufficiently close to 1. To see this, it suffices to show that when x 1 (and (4.11) holds), all coefficients of p(z) are positive. By (2.8), when x 1, (4.12) p(z)- (n-1)/2 I-I (qyz + 1) 2, j--(1--n)/2 SO (4.13) p----0 the C(n, ) are central Gaussian coefficients (see [5, p. 449]). By (4.11) and Theorem 3 of [5, p. 449], all of the C(n,,) are positive. Thus, by (4.13), all coefficients of p(z) are positive when x 1, 0 < ( < 2w/n. 5. Application to = Theorem 4. Let f(z), ft(z) be given by (1.13) and (1.14), and suppose that f(z) ft(z). We will use Theorem 2 to show that all coefficients of ft(z) are positive. Case 1. t < 2w/k. We have (5.1) f(z) g(z)/h(z), so z mk 1 1 Z k h(z) 1 z (5.3) ft(z) gt(z)/ht(z).
9 POLYNOMIALS WITH NONNEGATIVE COEFFICIENTS 1181 However, in Case 1, ht(z) h(z), so by (5.3), (5.4) ft(z) gt(z)/h(z) (gt(z)(1 z))(1 + z k + z 2k +...). Let (5.5) d degree (gt(z)). By Theorem 5 with N mk, gt(z) is strictly unimodal, so all terms of gt(z)(1-z) of degree _< d/2 have positive coefficients. Therefore, by (5.4), all terms of ft(z) of degree _< d/2 have positive coefficients. However, ft(z) has degree d- (k- 1) _< d by (5.4), so since the coefficients of ft(z) are symmetric about the middle one, they are all positive. Case 2. t >_ 2r/k. If m is even, say rn 2M, then (5.6) f(z) Z Mk 1 z k 1 (z Mk + 1). Applying Theorem 5, we could then deduce the result by induction on m. Thus assume that m is odd, so -1 is not a zero of f(z). We have m--1 (5.7) f (z) l-i A(r) (z), (5.8) A()(z) H O<u<mk/2 v=r(mod m) Thus, (5.9) ft(z) m--1 II A) (z), r=l with (5.10) A)(z) H (z-e2i/ k) (z--e-2i/mk) mkt /2r < <mk /2 v--r(mod m) For any fixed r, the zeros of A ) (z) on the upper half of the unit circle can be written in the form (5.11) exp(i(o,. + aj)), 0 _< j <_ n,. 1, (5.12) 0. > t >_ 2r/k- a and (5.13) 0,. + a(n. 1) < < 0,. + an..
10 1182 RONALD EVANS AND JOHN GREENE Therefore A r) (z) has the same form as p(z) in (1.3), and furthermore, (5.14) zr/2 < Or + (nr- 1)a/2 < r as in (1.5). Since, moreover, 0 < a < r/nr, Theorem 2 implies that all coefficients of A r) (z) are positive. Thus all coefficients of ft(z) are positive by (5.9). Acknowledgment.
